PHASES OF LIFE.

Handsome Walter Dennis. unheard of since
tho firm Of Murch & Dennis dissolved, has
come to the front as figuring conspicuouSly
in suit for divorce brought by her husband
against the bewitching actress. Jeffreys-
Lewis. Walter always had haukering for
the stage, developed by private theatricals
while he was manager of the summer hotel
at Deer Park, and soon came before the pub
lie in the "Romany Rye" The next season
he appeared with Jeffreys-Lewis as the con-
f1ding husband in La Belle Russo" and in
both made decided hits. 1t WAS & matter of
surprise when he entered the drinking busi-
ness here. but during that time he pined for
the stage, and fairly lived at the Grand.
When Jetfreys-Lewis played 'Forget-Me-Not,"
he haunted the theater and amused the
loungers in the foyer by criticising the lead
ing man and by showing how much better he
could have played the part. He rayed alter
nately over Jeffreys-Lewis and Rose Coghlan,
and one day, speaking of the latter. said in
affected despair: There, now, the little
witch, she's gone and got married without
ever saying word to me. I'll never forgive
the little rogue, so tn ere" Finally he went
back to the melodramatic boards and was
swallowed Up, coming now to the surface as
the author of several sentimental letters to
the defendant, which are published in the re-
ports of the divorce case.

The morning duplicate says the friends of
eX- Sheriff Bracket are indignant lat the i'm
puTatiOns cast upon him by a St. Paul sheet.
TO the effect that he was a dead load on the
ticket, and they will resent it. ETC., ad nau
seam. The complimentary allu sion Is 10 the
GLOBE, but the duplicate lied maliciously in
the above. for it knew the imputation, as it
calls it, came from certain Republicans, and
not the GLOBE. The interview given was
word for word, aud, since the duplicate form
ulated its foolish falsehood, has been re-
peated several times over. 1t is unnecessary
10 refer to it again, as there is enough war in
the ranks of the earnest, thoughtful and
consistent Republicans" without stirring up
further strife.

Steve B. Lovejoy, the appointee for the
Office of surveyor general of logs and lumber,
is what would be called a thoroughly good
fellow. He was not the choice of the lumber
men aud may be Loren Fletcher man, but
for a Il that he is entirely competent and is
popular. Those who are il position to know
say he is q hard party worker, and deserves
recognition TO that extent. He is good
judge of horsehesh and can manage the rib
bons over flyer as well as the best of them.
There may be kicking in some quarters over
the appointment. but there will be just as
much satisfaction in others.
In the oath that deputy sheriff takes in
the district court when jury is given into
his custody is clause which forbids him to
give the jury food or drink unless ordered to
causing serious inconvenience to twelve good
and true men once. 1t was when ex-Deputy
Sheriff George Baker went on. He was ap-
pointed to take charge of jury and after
being sworn in conducted them to the Jury
room and went in. The case was a compli-
Gated one, and no verdict could be agreed
upon. Night came on and the judge went
home. About o'clock in the evening there
came rap at the jury room door, and on
opening it George found himself confronted
by one OF the jurymen who said he and the
rest wanted something to eat. ''Well, you
don get it, replied George. when was
sworn in swore not to give you buffers any
thing to eat unless the judge told me to. and
as he has gone home for the night, 1 guess
you will have to go hungry In vain the
jurymen eSpostulated and told him he was
an idiot and a fool. ''Perhaps | am" an
swered George, but all the same you get no
food unless the judge says so. So we might
just as well understand each other" One of
the jurors finally hailed a passer-by and
threw him note to the judge, explaining
matters to him. who came down and
ordered the deputy sheriff to feed his victims.
Whi.ii ng as a means of expressing ap-

class OF amusement patrons. When others

into his mouth and produces shrill, piercing
whistle thar sounds like the shrek of Il dis

even re annoyed by these peculiar mani
feStatiCpS or delight on the part of the clowns
in the gallery, and there is only one place in
the city where the practice is prohibited and
that, strange to say, is at the dime museum,
where the prices are the Lowest.
